rundll32.exe clearmytracksbyprocess Error Message

Hello,
I am getting the following error when trying to open IE8 (WindowsXP, Acer Netbook)
"Rundll > An exception occured while trying to run " C\Windows\system32\inetcpl.cpl, ClearMyTracksByProcess 8651"
Then the system slows/freezes. Also McAfee Virus Scan does not respond.
I did reference: http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/Windows_Vista/Q_24363782.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+clearmytracksbyprocess
Spefically I try and do this:
"mikesg:Have the same problem on this machine.
Open internet options and take the check mark out of "delete browsing history on exit"
You will notice that the rundll32.exe isn't using but 1 or 0 CPU usage, but it is using a massive amount of ram.
Also notice that when you open iexplore.exe, automatically there will be TWO instances of it. This is because of the "Delete Browsing History" dialog is trying to open. Just like when you open "internet options" from the toolbar, you'll see a rundll32.exe as well as a separate iexplore.exe
Unfortunately, the problem lies within IE8, for the most part. ..."
However, when I try and disable " "Delete Browsing History" I still get the message:
"An exception occured while trying to run " C\Windows\system32\Shell32.dll "C\Windows\SYsystem32\inetcpl.cpl, ClearMyTracksByProcess 8651" Interenet options"
When I reboot, on startup, I get these messages
"iffxsrv Module has encountered a problem and needs to close"...
Please tell Microsoft about this problem ..."Send Error Report" - "Don't Send"
"McAfee SystemGuards Service has encounterd a problem>"

Hi Ravi,
Thx. I am currently trying to uninstall McAfee and the system keeps freezing. I suspect it is the culprit.
I also get a message from McAfee "Your computer is not fully protected" yet it was updated 2 days ago. I also believe the issue occured around the time of the last update.

If not I will try your first suggestion with the DLL files - I must type it manually as it is on a NetBook, with only a hard-drive.
Thx for yoour help.

Hi grtrders. Under the McAfee folder I only have McAfee Security Centre. I click and the system freezes. Also, the NetBook does not currently have access to the internet due to the above IE error message. I will try johnb6767's suggestion.
Thanks for your help.
Geo

To put it humbly further, I myself am always learning more from him. Pay special attention to what he posts.

Ravi.

I do appreciate all your help. I can not downlaod john6767's uninstall file as the netbook can not access the internet. However I did find something under program files>McAfee.MSC.mcunist.exe (descrption - Uninstaller application). Unfortunately I only get a partial dialogue box from McAfee that has a header McAfee Secuity Center - and nothing else.

(3)Above were successful except got this error message:
"WMI has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Tried the following to remove the message but did not work:
1.) Click Start, and then right-click My Computer.
2.) On the shortcut menu, click Manage.
3.) In the left pane of the Computer Management console, double-click Services and
Applications.
4.) Under Services and Applications, click Services.
5.) In the right pane of the Computer Management console, locate and then right-click
Windows Management Instrumentation.
6.) On the shortcut menu, click Stop.
7.) Start Windows Explorer, and then locate the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository
folder. ( you can also simply do a search )
8.) Delete all of the files in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder.
9.) Restart the computer.
The files that were deleted are re-created when the computer restarts.

(4.) Installed Firefox 3.6 and will use this instead of IE
Thanks alot folks - will assign you both the points!
